[Heart tumour in the right atrium: clinical recognition and therapeutical management (author's transl)]

A 62 year old lady came to the hospital in cause of right heart failure. Right and left heart catheterization and cineangiocardiography revealed a tumour in the right atrium. Further angiographic investigations demonstrated a hypernephroma in the left kidney. The operation of both tumours was successful. Pathohistological examination confirmed the diagnosis of hypernephroma in the left kidney with metastasis into the right atrium.
